Default XR10 drivers poll: 4PKS or 4PL?

How many XR10 drivers out there use a Futaba 4PKS or 4PL radio to run their rigs, and what factors influenced your choice?

i use the 4pl because i just couldnt justify the extra cost of the 4pks for a few extra fetures.

I drive the 4pks, because i like the way the Dig works

One Button to turn on/off Front dig, and the other for Rear.

the ajustable Steering wheel and buttons are realy nice

That's kind of what I'm trying to determine myself. What are the "extra features" that you are aware of?

I've got pretty much all my other electronics and parts picked out already for this build, but it has come down to this radio choice, it's driving me nuts! I hope I can get some good honest feedback with the major differences that I'd be paying good $$$ for on the 4PKS. I haven't been able to find a good side by side comparison no matter how much I've searched on here. Good start so far. Please Keep it comin'!

4PK for me, it's near as damit a 4PKS and it came with my rig in a deal from a member here - I've used top end radios for decades, the luxury is worth the coin

A better/broader question would be, "What radio do you use for a MOA with dual ESC's?"
I run a Futaba 3PM-x with a WantAmix and my son runs a 4PL.
